Come out with us to learn how to take our beautiful sunrise landscapes

The Day That would like to invite you to come out with us to experience what it’s like to take our beautiful landscape photographs so you can show your readers what it’s like to capture the beauty of Cornwall.

We have been going out every day since 2005 and now have 35,000 dawn pictures in our collection. People order them as personalised pieces of art taken at the very start of a day that is special to them such as a Wedding day or the day they have a baby.

We will teach you how it’s done and get you to take your very own sunrise photograph.

You will be able to get at first hand experience what it’s like to capture all the beauty of a Cornish dawn with it’s beautiful light, landscape and sounds.

After the shoot we will process your very own pictures at our lovely studio and print, mount and frame your very own sunrise picture for you to hang in your home or office.

I would like to think your readership would find what we do fascinating and having a journalist come out with us would add colour and depth to the piece.

Please feel free to contact me at gavan@thedaythat.co.uk or call us on 01736 758109 if you are interested in the story and we can plan for you to come out with us.

For more information about what we do here at The Day That please visit our site.

We now have over 35,000 photographs in our collection, that’s a lot of pictures of the dawn. We go out in all conditions from stunning sunrises to dramatic stormy mornings that take our breath away.

We have decided to create a collection of our favourite photographs from each month and have asked our followers on Facebook to name them. This is our chosen January picture and it was named “Theatre of the sea” by Steve Tuck and is very apt.

Anyone born on this day would have a very dramatic picture on their wall taken on the day they were born the perfect newborn gift. At the end of the year we will be creating a calendar with a picture for each month that hopefully will reflect the seasonal changes.

Join us on Facebook to get the chance to name one of our beautiful photographs.

Since June 2005 we have been going out every single day at sunrise in all weather conditions to take beautiful fine art landscape photographs. I have stood in the middle of a beach in the pouring rain and still managed to find something beautiful to photograph.

Even when it's raining there is beauty to be found.

At mid summer I have to be at my chosen location by 3.30am to make sure I capture the pre dawn. There is something quite magical when you realise that you are one of the very few people crazy enough to be awake at that time and to witness mother nature at it’s most impressive.

Mother nature at it's best

There is something very spiritual in waiting for the sun to rise and for capturing the process as a photograph knowing that this is the start of someones first day on earth or the first day of the rest of their lives.

The baby Show at Excel in London is about to be held and for the first time in 3 years The Day That won’t be attending. This is due to unforeseen circumstances and is a real shame as we feel we are one of the most original and most certainly unique products ever to have exhibited at the show.

Where else could you meet 20,000 potential customers that to be honest all love what we do. Hoards of new and expectant mums file past our stand scratching their heads and thinking, why are they showing landscape photographs here at the baby show? It goes something like this. Us – I bet you can’t tell what we do… New Mum, erm…. take photographs. Us – Yes but whats special about what we do? New Mum, erm… don’t know. Us – Ok, tell me the date your baby was born. New Mum – Ok…. We then lead them to our computer and show them a photograph taken at dawn on the day their beautiful baby was born….. New Mum…. burst into tears!

The Day That stand at the Baby show

We really will miss not going to the Excel baby Show and most of all miss all the wonderful companies that attend including Cuddledry, who make award Winning hooded baby bath towels. Konfidence who produce all you need for child & baby swimming and The Miricle Box who supply fantastic maternity products.

Being based on the south west coast of England, we get treated to all the weird and wonderful types of weather that makes this country famous. This makes each morning different from the last and it keeps us here at The Day That on our toes, and we have to be ready for whatever the weather may throw at us.

We as The Day That photographers have many different indicators that can tell us which is the best location to head to before dawn, and what locations can give us the results we need to provide images that you would want hanging above a fire place or in a child’s bedroom, bought as a christening gift.

The perfect Christening gift for the nursery

As we go out every morning our knowledge of what the weather is doing is just as good as any news report. Conversations in the office will often be about what spots are currently working, if the tide is coming in or out, and what the wind direction is.

The Perfect Photograph

However when we get up in the morning, and the sky is dark, we still cannot be certain what location we are going to end up at.

I live in Hayle, which is about a 15 minute drive from St. Ives, a town that has many small beaches that offer different things and is a place we go to a lot. On my drive over to St.Ives I keep an eye on the sky, judge the cloud movement and get a feel for the weather, and this is when I make a decision on what location to travel to.

If the sky is clear, we head to a location that points toward the sun so we can see it appear over the horizon. Simple. However being in England, the weather does not always allow that, and we have to head off to other locations to capture something that creates a great image and will tell a story of what that morning was like.

Beaches such as Porthgwidden or the back of The Island has some great rock formations, with a long exposure and a bit of a swell, we are able to capture some great movement around the rocks.

The back of the Island, St Ives

Carbis Bay, although close by, can offer something entirely different. The beach is tucked in and almost hidden away from the shoreline. The water sweeps around the corner from St Ives and is pushed forwards, giving us perfectly shaped slow moving waves for us to capture.

Time of year also plays a huge factor, anyone who has lived in the same place for a long period of time will know just how much the Earth’s tilt affects where the sun actually rises, given which of the four seasons we are in. A clear dawn in the summer will be completely different to a clear dawn in the winter, and we have to change our approach accordingly.
